I am walking towards my happy place. I have been here countless times always wallowing in the immense love that envelopes me. I close my eyes and reminisce that moment.. that special moment when I became a witness to the power of true love. My heart once again surrender to that familiar feeling of peace and happiness that never waver to this day. And when my soul got its fill, I went home. I ran to my room and stared at my most treasured possession enclosed in a pink handcrafted picture frame.
I know them with every beat of my heart. He is living his dream and is making a name in the industry. But amidst the glory and fame, there was something missing. Until she timidly smiled at him onscreen. And in that instance he knew, his life has changed. He fell in love. He would send her loveletters and flowers just to brighten her day. They would have the simplest of dates sharing isaw in the most romantic way. And he fell in love deepy. He would stare at her just to memorize beautiful lines on her face. He would always be her wall protecting her from danger and pain in a sweet embrace. And he continues to fall in love deeply. He would literally fly the heavens to be right by her side. He makes sure that through it all, Ikaw at Ako is a promise that he keeps in his heart. And this is his vow, always.
And she was never a believer of herself. She is struggling to love herself a little more everyday. She does not know how beautiful and special she is. Until he looked at her onscreen. And in that instance she knew, her life has changed. She also fell in love. She would bake him a cake and sing him a song live that is a first in her life. She would accord him with sweet gestures like checking the callous on his hands and wiping the tears in his eyes. And she also fell in love deeply. She would always defend him from sharp words that shatters his soul. She would fill his phone with her pictures to remind him that she will always be the one to make him whole. And she continues to fall in love deeply. She would always look for that warmth whenever he is holding her hands. She would write him poems and blogs that tell of their magical world that only their hearts understand. And she will stay in this world, forever.
I focus my thoughts on the picture. They are a beautiful couple in a cream suit and pink ball dress. They are in a loving embrace with his hand cradling her head. "Ahhhh Tamang Panahon." And once again, I was transported to my happy place where it all began. Broadway. Where he sat on the floor with the audience and their eyes met onscreen for the very first time. Where the stars in the heavens conspired to give birth to a lovestory that made their lives entwined. I giggled. For soon, I can exist to be. Seeing their wonderful love journey unfolding before me.
I am looking at them now. He is struggling to deliver the corniest joke and she mocks him with a blank face. They dubsmash to words that is spoken by their hearts while locked in a loving gaze. I whispered, "I love you so much mommy, I love you so much daddy. I can't wait to hug you both".
They looked up to where I am. I thought they heard my tiny voice and saw my curly hair. But they just moved closer to the split screen and shared the sweetest kiss on the lips. That kiss touching my bedimpled cheek as I tuck my picture frame to sleep - charmaine
